The Catspaw Dagger was created by Game of Thrones Weapons Master Tommy Dunne GoT HouseOfTheDragonHBO
HBO’s House of the Dragon has brought millions of Game of Thrones fans back to TV screens around the world – and the successor series focusing on the Targaryen dynasty has shared one of the most iconic weapons from Game of Thrones - the Catspaw Dagger.
Game of Thrones fans got excited when the dagger was spotted in a trailer for House of The Dragon, setting off social media debate over its origin and role in the Game of Thrones story., who revealed that the inspiration behind the design of the weapon came from a deer bone. In an interview with Game of Thrones Studio Tour, Dunne said: “The only brief I was given for the Catspaw Dagger was that the ‘opulence’ had to be there and that it needed to have a Targaryen look and feel to it.”
He added: “The shape [of the bone] is unusual, so I had to cut the tail end of it off. The tip [of the handle] is a Bodkin arrow. I glued that to the antler bone to create a feel to it.”“For me, it joins up the two worlds. I am proud of all the equipment and weapons made for Game of Thrones. It's great that fans can watch the world of Westeros on screen, whilst also delving behind the scenes of the making of this world at Game of Thrones Studio Tour.
